HELP! Blood blister on vaginal cuff??
I went to my OB/GYN today because I had noticed a blood blister looking thing at the edge of the inner vaginal cuff (I have no clue regarding official medical terminology for this stuff). It was fairly small and kind of looked like a mole or something? So I got nervous and made an appt w/my doc to check it out. So the first thing she says when I go in today is "Oooooh, not good. You would think in all my years of practice and all the women I've looked at I would've seen something like this but I haven't..." (And yes, she said those EXACT words...) The other thing is that when I looked at it last night, it had doubled and/or tripled in size... (The reason I knew to look up there was because I was bleeding a little bit on the tissue paper and wanted to know what was up.) So she got a silver nitrate stick and "cauterized" whatever it was to see if that would help. She said that it should help if it was a blood blister and then told me that it DID look a little less red as she was putting it on so hopefully that would help. So I got home and checked it out and of course couldn't see a thing through all the grey-stained skin. BUT IM STILL HAVING BLOOD ON THE TISSUE?? The problem here for me is not the blood blister per se... it's the fact that my doctor, who has been in practice for a good 25 years, said she has never seen anything like that?? Can someone tell me what exactly THAT means and/or if they've had experience with a "blood blister" in their *area* and why the heck would I have that? OH! As a sidebar, I do have HPV and had precancer cells in my cervix for 4 pap smears, with the fifth one (the last one) being clear finally... but she said this had nothing to do with my cervix. HELP!!!! Please!
she just cauterized it with silver nitrate... sad. im trying to figure out what the heck is going on - its growing i think! UGH! thanks for responding at least though. :) that was nice! :)
Nobody ust have had this happen to them since you haven't gotten nay answers, sorry to be no help, although i can't beleive your Dr reacted that way, Did she take a swab of it or anything to try to find out if it was anything else?
